A complex trough of low pressure over the Tasman Sea is forecast to move slowly east across New Zealand over the next couple of days. A moist northerly flow ahead of this trough is expected to bring a period of heavy rain to northern and western parts of both islands.

A heavy rain warning is in force for the Coromandel Peninsula and Bay of Plenty.

This Watch is for the possibility of rainfall amounts reaching warning criteria (100mm falling in under 24 hours) in localised areas about the ranges of Westland, Buller, Nelson, also Mt Taranaki from tonight through to early Saturday morning, then about the ranges of northern Gisborne from tonight through to Saturday night.

This Watch also includes Auckland, Waikato and Taupo, a period of heavy rain is expected overnight, followed by a period of heavy showers Saturday afternoon and early evening. There is a risk of rainfalls reaching short duration warning criteria (for example 50mm falling in 6 hours) in these areas.

Lucky Bett, should be a good game.
We contemplated heading back down but decided against it with the weather lousy again.
We were soaked last week going to the All Blacks game.

Enjoy your visit Bett and yes sunshine will be nice
